Let\u2019s see what specifically they say it says: AA: \u201cOne reference that we have, for example, speaks of these explosions that were brighter than a thousand suns. And when these blasts occurred the suns were twirling in the air; trees went up in flames and there was just this mass destruction. After those blasts, people who survive started to lose their hair and nails started to fall out. I mean, right there, we have a concise reference to radiation poisoning; nuclear fallout \u2013 and those texts are thousands of years old.\u201d The Mahabharata actually doesn\u2019t say any of that. These exact claims about the hair and nails falling off and an explosion brighter than a thousand suns have been repeated by Ancient Astronaut theorists so many times that they think it\u2019s true, but the origin of this line was from a French book called \u201cMorning of the Magicians\u201d\u00a0[1]\u00a0No one that makes this claim will actually site where in the Mahabharata this claim appears. Which makes it very difficult for people to call them out on this, because the Mahabharata contains over 1.8 million words, so if you just say, \u201cit\u2019s in there somewhere, just trust me,\u201d you can pret[...x]<\/span>
ty much get away with anything. As you might have guessed by now, they have a really good reason for covering their tracks by not siting a reference. For instance, let\u2019s consider the claim about the people\u2019s hair and nails falling out because of this weapon. First of all, there was no weapon involved in that story, it was a part of a bad omen, and this is what it actually says:\u00a0\u201cThe streets swarmed with rats and mice; earthen pots showed cracks or broken from no apparent cause. At night, the rats and mice ate away the hair and nails of slumbering men.\u201d[2]\u00a0So rats chewed them off, it wasn\u2019t a result of: \u201cNuclear fallout\u201d What about the bomb blast that was brighter than a thousand suns? Here\u2019s what the passage actually says:\u00a0\u201cGratified with him, the holy one then showed Utanka that eternal Vaishnava form which Dhananjaya of great intelligence had seen. Utanka beheld the high-souled Vasudeva of universal form, endued with mighty-arms. The effulgence of that form was like that of a blazing fire or a thousand suns. It stood before him filling all space. It had faces on every side. Behold the high and wonderful Vaishnava form of Vishnu. In fact, seeing the Supreme Lord in that guise, the Brahmana Utanka became filled with wonder.[3]Jason Colavito says the following about this: \u201cThis passage, which mentions the ten thousand suns, refers to an appearance of Vishnu. It is representative of many, many passages in which the standard poetic line \u201cten thousand suns\u201d is used to describe a deity. It does not refer to the specific flash of a nuclear blast unless one imagines the gods to be exploding.\u201d If you would like to know more about the deceitful misquoting of ancient texts as it relates to this idea of ancient nuclear weapons, see Jason Colavito\u2019s excellent book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s move on to Ancient Aliens\u2019 next line of evidence for this point, which is all centered around an ancient city \u2013 now archeological site \u2013 called Mohenjo Daro in Pakistan. Ancient Aliens claims that there was a nuclear bomb dropped there in the ancient past, they give several reasons to believe this: AA: \u201cSkeletons were found lying face down in the street \u2013 many holding hands. Their faces and body positioning suggested they suffered a sudden, violent death.\u201d AA: \u201cYou have a culture of people who literally were lying dead in the street. Archaeologists have found human remains and something big has happened to these people.\u201d AA: \u201cWhy is there evidence that wild animals avoided scavenging their remains, and why, even after thousands of years, have their bones not decayed?\u201d AA: \u201cIn certain areas of that site you find increased levels of radiation.\u201d AA: \u201cBritish researcher David Davenport claimed to have found a 50-yard-wide epicenter at Mohenjo Daro where everything appeared to have been fused through a transformative process known as vitrification.\u201d AA: \u201cVitrification is a process in which regular-type stone gets molten into a magma state, and then it hardens again. But once the stone is hardened again it feels like glass. At Mohenjo Daro we find evidence of vitrification, which could have only have been achieved if the material was exposed to extreme heat by some type of blast.\u201d Ok so let\u2019s list these points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
